depends when my dear...changing nappies with diarrhea isn't that fun even when it's your baby! But better when it's yours than someone else's of course.
Yes back to real stuff : he's really adorable and cute, just me still very tired and finding it difficult to get my energy back...not to mention my shape(s).
How's life in your insurance land? Just added you on FB BTW. |

Sorry about the diapers. I know that's no fun. Hope you can get a break soon and get some you time. That can help your energy level. |

Aww! My sister, Mary is just now going through and learning all of that herself now!
Insurance land for me is very busy this time of year. We do insurance for school districts, so with the new school year coming up, we've got lots of work to do. But, I'm busy, which makes the day go by faster!
Thank you for the add...and I hope things get easier for you...finding your energy and all! |

oî love, indeedy, started the ME time yesterday with a baby sitter for 4 h and what did I do? Housewife shopping innit!! Really I'm gonna start a desperate housewive thread. I'm ok, just not too well, but very very happy with Mr Clyde that's for sure...but also not so on top form, but don't want to talk about that right now.
How's life on ze board? what's up or even new?

Make sure you help her as much as you can - it's quite hard and one doesn't want to ask for the help cause it looks like you're not a good mother but in fact you need the help just to rest a bit. Also it can be difficult on the moral and that's another tricky one cause you feel shit about yourself for not feeling soooooo happy on the longer run but then that's post partum depression for you!! So help her as much as you can, if you can. |

I'm afraid I can't be of much help to her...she lives in a different state. So far away! We're trying to convince her to move back ;) |

I hear you. Ask for help as much as you can. I struggled a lot with the "but I'm supposed to be happy" thing because I most definitely wasn't. It didn't help that people kept saying "isn't this just the best??" and I wanted to say NO.
But then they think you are some heartless ice queen. I had bad PPD with my first and unfortunately a much worse case the second. I had to get 24/7 help for a few weeks when I hit my lowest point the second time because I really wasn't functioning well.
Hence, why we only have two. Doctors said it would be even worse a third time. : (
Anyway I don't feel comfortable talking about it beyond vague terms in a public setting because those were some hard times but I am always happy to talk one-on-one.

Well you've pretty much described what I'm going through right now...and I'll be straight forward : I took my first antidepression pill last night!
Life is fantastic, I'm over the moon with Clyde and the happiness he is bringing but PPD is just something else. The death of my friend Pascal has affected me a lot, and I haven't said before but he commited suicide so that was a bigger hurt...and of course we'll never know why. A lot of mixed feelings.
But we have le board et les amigos boardiesxx |

I think PPD is so biologically based that medication is needed to help your body get back in balance. The second time around I also had a fantastic counselor and the combo really helped me figure a lot of stuff out.
I am living proof that you can recover from it and everyone be totally fine. Kids are great, I'm great. It was a bad time but if you deal with it it's not going to be for the rest of your life. |

Oh Sophie (((()))) You're having it rough at the moment. I had a terrible time with my first and then much better the 2nd time (reversal of Anne's situation) It's a horrible thing to go through but you have to cling on to the outside world and not retreat into yourself. The internet is a life-saver (was for me anyway) so make sure you come back on here, if you can, when you need a chat. Sending you a big hug.
If you didn't live so far away, I'd pop round for a cup of tea but it'll have to be a virtual one instead. |
